No Alliances

[Lyons6]

Hey Guys after 20 or so turns I have noticed apart from myself no one else has any allies. They each have several enemies but no allies. Is this maybe a bug in the program or how it's meant to be with ss? which I might point out is bloody great

[muffinhead]

what difficulty are you playing on?

They will get some eventually. Right before they start attacking each other. Usually they will ally a neighbour of their enemy and then attack him.

I notice heavy AI diplomat activity during 20-30 turn. And usually after that the hell breaks loose. :-)

I have just installed Lusted AI upgrades to campagin and battle and they seemed to have done the trick not that I'm overly happy about it now as Seljuk and Fatimids have just allied in the 3 round to attack me (Koj) lol that will twach me.

Well when the two AI factions have a common enemy then they ally easier.

Yes true though before I added lusted mods they didn't really work together even though the same events were unfolding.

Heh buckle up and fight them back

Lusted's AI is famous for its ganging up abilities. Every time I see Kiev, Venice, Hungary and Sicily ally in my Byzantine campaigns, I know I need two more stacks in the Balkans.

Just give them time to figure out you're their next meal.

AI doesn't tend to attack or even negotiate with anyone till about 20 turns in. In a recent Danish campaign I went for the high reputation approach. At 15 turns in, I had about 5 spaced out allies (England, HRE, Poland, Kiev & Spain) and my reputation was good, but there were no inter-AI alliances or wars. Then suddenly, I get bombarded with diplomats wanting an alliance. Aragon, Genoa, Venice, Scotland, Novgorod, Sicily, Turks, Moors & Portugal all request Alliance & Trade Rights. A few alliances also developed between AI factions, but literally everyone wanted me (for once ).
